PHOENIX AZ—Kurt R. Mattson, President of Union Legal Research, has authored the article, 12 Business Lessons For Teaching The Business of Law, in the March/April 2016 issue of the AALL Spectrum with Eve Ross, Research Specialist at the McNair Law Firm in Columbia SC.
The article asks what happens when a newly minted lawyer isn’t researching law school hypotheticals anymore, but instead is in practice, researching real situations. Ross and Mattson’s article discusses a dozen lessons to consider when educating students or onboarding new attorneys.
“[A] librarian with an eye on the business side of the law firm, as well as the business side of research, can play a significant role in shaping the firm’s strategic plan—and prove to be an essential player in the overall success of the organization,” the article says. Mattson remarked that these lessons are gathered from those that Ross and he, along with other colleagues, have experienced when working with first-year associates at law firms. These lessons will help firms be more efficient and help new attorneys to assimilate to the organization more quickly and with increased productivity.
